Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1305 Recruitment Assessment: "What are your thoughts on the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine?" (Bonus chapter for monthly votes)

Upon hearing Cui Jingyi's words, Fang Yan realized that the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Peking Union Medical College Hospital should indeed expand. Right now, with university TCM doctors graduating and interning across the country, it's the perfect time to recruit.

These people can reliably support the daily work of the TCM department after they come in.

Instead of having only two people working in shifts each day like we do now.

This is also for the staff planning the physical examinations for the soon-to-be-completed TCM building and inpatient department.

Fang Yan said into the phone:

“You make a good point. Let’s send the letter then. However, I need to interview and assess the candidates first. Ideally, they should be from Beijing or a nearby city, and the number shouldn’t be too large.”

"I will still arrange for some school doctors to take turns to see patients, and some doctors to see patients long-term."

"The level of TCM doctors who graduate nowadays is okay for handling simple illnesses, but when they encounter more complex illnesses, their experience from school is completely inadequate."

“Okay, then we’ll do it your way!” Cui Jingyi replied. She knew nothing about medical treatment and was now mostly helping to expand the department’s scale in line with Fang Yan’s wishes.

She also knew that many of the people in Fang Yan's class had studied for more than ten years, or even since childhood, and most of them were experienced doctors with several years of clinical or teaching experience. The difference between them and the five-year medical students recommended by workers, peasants and soldiers was quite significant.

So she understood what Fang Yan was saying. The former hospital director and the leaders of the Ministry of Health had also told her that she should consult with Fang Yan more about the TCM department and that it was best to listen to Fang Yan in many arrangements.

Since the higher-ups have said so, she doesn't need to insist on her own way. Anyway, she's already accumulated enough seniority, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's a sure thing that she'll be joining the Ministry of Health in a little over a year.

As expected, the premise also includes cooperating with dialect-related work.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Yan called Professor Wang Yuchuan again and asked him:
"Professor Yu Chuan, among the fifth-year students graduating from our school, are there any who are particularly skilled in traditional Chinese medicine?"

Wang Yuchuan was somewhat puzzled, but still answered:

"Yes, in three graduate programs!"

Fang Yan was speechless. Okay, indeed, the good ones all went to graduate school. He then asked:

"Were there any students who almost didn't get into graduate school?"

“They’re at your research institute and Mr. Hu’s factory,” Wang Yuchuan replied.

dialect:"……"

"I mean, are there any... people who haven't been assigned yet? Peking Union Medical College Hospital is expanding its TCM department and needs some people to join," he added.

Wang Yuchuan said:
"Why didn't you say so earlier? It's all been distributed now!"

"So fast?" Fang Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Yuchuan said:
“Because of you, our school is now receiving national attention. Hospitals are coming to our school first to recruit students, and with the addition of our own hospitals, the fifth-year students have already been assigned jobs.”

"If you had come a few days earlier, I could have saved some for you, but now there's none left."

"But you can try asking at Capital Medical University; they should still have some."

Fang Yan scratched his head, realizing that this matter was related to him.
He said to Wang Yuchuan:
"Okay, thank you, Professor Tamagawa!"

After hanging up the phone, Fang Yan did not call Capital Medical University to ask for the person. He was not familiar with the situation there, and there was also Gu Mingyuan's father inside. This man was a top student of Yu Yunxiu's accomplice, and his son Gu Mingyuan had been dealt with by him. Fang Yan did not know what kind of people had been trained there over the past five years.

If he manages to get a few of his apprentices in, Fang Yan will have truly struck gold.

It's better to treat everyone equally now and wait until Cui Jingyi's representative arrives before conducting interviews and selections.

How will we test them then?

They can't handle the complex stuff, and the simple stuff is hard to filter out.
Should we put them into actual combat right away?
As long as we can handle most of the illnesses treated at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, there shouldn't be any problems.

This is a good idea.

……

Several days passed quickly. Director Liao moved over the day after Fang Yan and Cui Jingyi had discussed it, which was quite efficient. Fang Yan started giving him a physical examination on the morning of the third day.

The old man's health was treated last time, but he still has some problems. His lifestyle habits, diet, and sleep schedule all need to be adjusted.

Fang Yan devised a series of plans for him.

Then Lao Tao's side also moved from the Yanjing Hotel.

He was quite pleased. This detached villa was something only senior experts from Peking Union Medical College Hospital could get. He had only been in Beijing for a short time, and he had already been given one.

The fortune teller said he would have good fortune in his old age, but at first he didn't believe it.

Now I completely believe it!
Who the hell could have imagined that I would have this kind of fate?

Now, who doesn't call him Professor Tao when they see him?
Lao Tao has been walking with a swagger these past few days.

In addition, Comrade Ma, who went to Beijing to look for his daughter, also made the news. He invested in and built a large fertilizer plant near Beijing, which is expected to be put into production by the end of the year.

The technology introduced was advanced technology from abroad. The agricultural and chemical sectors attached great importance to it. There was also an interview with him, in which Lao Ma said that he was responding to the call to build the motherland.

The newspapers gave him high praise.

Old Ma's actions are most likely an attempt to regain favor in order to arrange the marriage, and the higher-ups should be quite satisfied with his attitude.

If he hadn't said anything, who would have known he was looking for his daughter?

As for Ma Wenying, after Lao Ma left, Fang Yan was still worried about her condition. He invited her to his home for a meal, and she had recovered to her previous state. She even said she planned to go to the school where Fang Yan's father studied.

This is quite surprising. This seemingly artistic and rebellious young lady actually wants to study science?

Although I don't know what she was thinking, Fang Yan didn't interfere with her choice; supporting her was the right thing to do.

After Lao Ma goes back, his third son, Ma Youxin, should be coming over soon.

Next, information also emerged from the letter sent by Cui Jingyi.

In accordance with the requirements of the local dialect, TCM colleges in surrounding provinces and cities responded, with students from Capital Medical University and Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine being the first to arrive.

Today, Fangyan will arrange interviews for them. Before the interviews, Fangyan already has their information.

Fang Yan met them early this morning downstairs at the Xiehe outpatient building because she didn't have any classes this morning.

Six people came in total.

Five boys and one girl, all medical students recommended by workers, peasants and soldiers.

Four of them are from Capital Medical University, and the other two are from Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Judging from his learning experience and grades, there are no problems.

Fang Yan said to them:

"Before the formal assessment of your clinical practice, I'd like to ask you a question. This question won't be scored; it's just to see if you're suitable for the position."

No one suspected anything, and they all nodded and agreed to let Fang Yan take the test.

Fang Yan pondered for a moment and asked:
What are your views on the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine?

"Don't talk about policies, just state your own understanding!"

P.S.: I still owe you 10000 words after finishing this chapter.

Please come early tomorrow.
